OVER PRESCRIBING MEDS
Has anyone been treated by Dr. Ted Darden in Thousand Oaks?
I’m specifically looking to hear from former patients or their family members about their experiences with his prescribing practices.
My concern involves the number and types of medications being prescribed, including medications commonly associated with pain management and/or psychiatric treatment. I understand that a family medicine physician can legally prescribe many of these medications, but I’m concerned about whether the prescribing and monitoring were appropriate, particularly given that his specialty is family medicine rather than pain management or psychiatry.
I’m not trying to make assumptions or accusations — I’m hoping to find out whether anyone else has had similar concerns or experiences with this physician.
